New Set Alert: My brother started 2015 off by giving me a retail box of 2014 Topps Chrome baseball cards. When I looked up the set, I was astonished to see so many parallels and inserts that would make assembling a master set a feat for the 1%... of which I'm no where near. :-) My main goal is to finish the base set, followed by the one insert set and four refractor sets, matching the cards which comprised this box. Anything else is welcome, but not priority. Thanks!!
